Injuries

[RainbowDragonz]

Why can you be injured but not die? If all that happens is bury vision I feel like there's less consequences as once you've got to the worst bit you can keep going and never die.

We considered this option but ultimately decided against it. The current solution does its job: it makes you be careful when destroying and demolishing buildings "with your head" but it is not overly punishing. We don't want the player to have to restart the whole mission every time something heavy accidentally falls on him. We will think about different solutions while creating the main version.

I mean I spent the entire time trying to die after I realised you could get injured but that may just have been me. Maybe some way of restarting from just before you were killed as opposed to the whole level?

Not at all.
This is about - health and safety- to a degree. Not a MSC.
Above all fun physics and equipment.
Have you played any of the series or other games similar? Honestly if your ‘killed’ why would you bother with a restarting point, just before you were ‘killed’. You just may as well not be ‘killed’ then….
I got injured purely because there was that much dust around I couldn’t see any bricks falling. In the real world - and previous games- you would damp down the surface before starting demolition for environmental and health reasons.

My thoughts were more if you don't get killed what's the point in avoiding injury. I can work around the vision bluring and it's quicker to keep going rather than go back to the car to heal and then get injured again etc.

Maybe then have a First Aid kit on you on the site? Rather than -as you said- keep going back to the car. That would be a better idea

You can make it to a setting: turn injuries (and dead) on if you like to play it that way, turn it of if you don't like it.
